My heart goes out to all of Wolf's family and friends. I was lucky to be one of Wolf's teachers while he was a student at Emerson Middle School. Wolf was a bright light, a deep thinker and a compassionate soul. With deepest sympathies... may his positive legacy live on through all who were touched by Wolf.

Wolf was not only my son Aaron's best friend but he was like a brother. He was such an amazing person and could light up a room with his smile. He became part of our family and we are extremely heart broken. Wolf will always have a special place in our hearts. He will be forever missed.

Although we only met Wolf once, many years ago, it is apparent that he had grown into a wonderful individual, just like his parents. Kevin and I were heartbroken when we heard the news and send our condolences.

I was Wolf's Spanish teacher in 2nd grade and I remember telling him that his name was "Lobo." Lobo was one of those kids who left a strong impression with his adorable smile, contagious energy and genuine kindness. He loved Spanish and made the class fun for everyone. I will always remember what a sweet boy he was.

Mikan played baseball with Wolfgang, and coincidentally is also studying automotive engineering in college. I always loved his name! My heart breaks for everyone who knew him. Gone way too young 😔

Wolf was one of my brother Sean’s best friends. The few times I met Wolf, he was incredibly kind, gracious, humble, and a fantastic friend to Sean. My heart goes out to Wolf’s family. I’m so sorry for your loss. He will forever be remembered as an amazing individual and friend.
